Hope everyone has a beautiful day!!!"
Fako Berkers left a comment for 'sara jecko'"Hey Sara,
I'm not sure about that feeling you are talking about. It's not very clear, can you elaborate? I'm interested in Meisner, but I'm far from an expert (I've never done it), but by coincedence (?) I happen to enlist…"

And about the dog, it was just a stray dog I found at Manali, an Indian hill station.

- Hey Sara,
I'm not sure about that feeling you are talking about. It's not very clear, can you elaborate? I'm interested in Meisner, but I'm far from an expert (I've never done it), but by coincedence (?) I happen to enlist myself for a Meisner workshop this summer today :)
I've been doing theatre improv from 3 years old (so I was told). I couldn't even really speak at the time, but I improvised a speech for the 40th wedding anniversery of my grandparents. Since 6 years it has been my occupation.
I think you'll have to be careful with the smoke in Amsterdam at times. But some of it can clear up the world (especially if your body needs it) ;)
I'll be happy to play host for you and your husband one day :)
Grt, Fako

You should check Leese Walker (Nico Daswani knows her). She's a NY based theatre creator who works a lot with impro music, so if you think theatre has interesting processes, it might be something for you!
I think your music really "works" because some instruments stay the same. This gives me the feeling of a rite or mantra. I can go into the music if you know what I mean. Exciting!
